SAFETY CALL: I have just read your article on Vodafone and the new G3 phones about to "hit our stores before Christmas" (Business, last week).

I read right through the article looking for some information about the safety of these new phones, as only a month or two ago there were BBC reports saying these phones were "too hot to handle". There was none.

I, like many who read your pages, seek new technology to improve my business and of course those with an ear for investment will be following new consumer success stories such as this with interest too.

But who is going to comment on the safety issues of such devices? Or are we going to wait until millions of young people have fried their brains and we are only then making a connection between mobile phones and an upsurge in brain tumours?
